- What are you looking for on this site?
- I was invited. I will enjoy looking around and the articles and seeing what other people's thoughts are on some subjects of interest. I don't actually have a practice, but there is no box to check that says I learned and practice privately-- NOT professionally.
- About Me:
- I'm probably one of the few Chaplains and ordained ministers that thinks hypnosis is a TOOL and a gift that we can use to better ourselves and not some "witchcraft" or satanic thought control method of taking over a person's soul. I also do EFT/NLP and ET.
- Hobbies:
- Don't have time for hobbies any more, but have done various crafts such as woodburning artwork, making jewelry crosses, but now my only hobby is work-- even when helping others.

Any suggestiions?
I have 3 problems with hypnosis--- ME, MYSELF, and I. Seriously, I can work with others, but have problems working with MYSELF. I've tried adding brain entraimnent sounds and that helps effectiveness, but most of my self-hypnosis suggestions have little effect unless I do them several times a day every day, and I don't have that kind of time to work on it. Any suggestions? I know WHAT to do, but it's not effective on ME when I am the one doing it-- either mentally or by recorded CD.

Sorry I misunderstood "Some take only prayer and fasting to help"
to mean that they believe only fasting and prayer are acceptable means of seeking help.
I also accept that there is "nothing new under the sun" as King Solomon said, and hypnosis is not new - it's just being harnessed in new ways. (Just as the atoms in the atom bombs aren't new, their energy is nothing new... they're just being harnessed differently, using methods of advancement that have been around for millenia.)
I also believe that "all things are created for Him and by Him" - including hypnosis, so let's use it FOR Him.
I also believe that all are HIS to begin with, and in a way we are His instruments and children learning to be what we are to be. (With one caveat: He clearly created us with independent thought and free will - so ULTIMATELY we're His instruments - the wicked by fighting Him until their ultimate destruction, the righteous by serving Him until their ultimate redemption.) So doesn't it make sense to use hypnosis to be a good instrument?
You said, "Some take only prayer and fasting to help."
So if they were poor, they wouldn't try something like a job? An opportunity? They'd only pray and fast?
If they were sick, they wouldn't try a doctor? A medicine? If yes, I ask: Why would a spiritual illness be different? Don't we need to combine faith and action? To find the combination of medicines that fits our soul best? Hypnosis may just be G-d's answer to their prayer and fasts...
Everyone needs to be surrounded by a security blanket - some need physical walls, some can use friends, some can feel safe in the Spirit of G-d. Those people you refer to need to surround themselves with their own version of psycho-spiritual walls - they think they're created by G-d, though almost always those walls are of their own creation. C'est la vie...
So welcome to this amazing site!
Again, as a clergyman, my opinion: Utilizing the mind, and utilizing negative spiritual forces, are not in the same ballpark. You were put here by G-d to use your body, life, and soul/mind COMPLETELY - in His service. So maximizing your mind's abilities through hypnosis is admirable, not evil. (We'll leave the question of whether you should acquire good behavior through hard work, or if using a shortcut is acceptable, to later discussions.)
Again, welcome!
I am a minister and chaplain, too. I live fairly close...Escondido!
I am another clergy type that sees hypnosis as a tool.
Do keep in touch...
David
Wow you live close, welcome, hope your feeling well.
